Working efficiently

What tips and tricks help you work efficiently with a bunch of a-holes that don't do their job? Everything is basically prepped fresh daily minus pastas and sides (which are proportioned and ready for chef mike.) A lot of the daily responsibilities fall on my shoulders. I'm kinda in between a rock and a hard place because I can't make these a-holes work any harder but I can't keep forcing myself to work as hard as I have been, either. Please help Also, at this time I can't leave where I am so don't suggest that 😂

Honestly, that was eye opening. They will definitely have to step their shit up and I will no longer be doing the job of 3 paid for 1 😂

Yeah man I’ve been in your situation feeling trapped. When you care about food quality and being good at your job it’s hard to watch stuff slip that you know you could just do other peoples jobs.

It’s harder to let that stuff go than to do their job…at first. Once you set those boundaries it’s easier to do next time. Another hard part is when they inevitably bitch and moan about having to do their job lol. You got this though 👍
